They don't need to buy anything. They have so much extra cash that they buy US bonds because it was considered reasonably safe, but as economies are collapsing they're moving a lot of that money that they were spending on bonds into gold instead and also investing heavily in oil or anything that generates power.
I too believe that Israel isn't stupid enough to attack Iran. It would be suicide. But the problem is there are religious radicals in there government that want to see bible prophesy fullfilled. As long as they keep those kind of people away from the button they'll be ok.
